When I had tanks 25 years ago, I don’t really remember having to replace air line… yes, the old vinyl got hard, but remained functional, until you wanted to change something… last night, I spent an hour replacing several air lines, that had reduced function ( I have vinyl, clear silicone, and black silicone lines ), and I had to replace chunks of both the vinyl, and clear silicone… maybe the black is better, but in fairness, I’ve not had that very long… not sure if it’s the newly, more cheaply, manufactured tube wall thickness, or the materials, but I’m experiencing hardness, and kinking, even from non sharp 90 degree bends, over time ( the 2 years I’ve had some of these going )… so I find myself straightening bends, and cutting off ends, and thinking about buying more black silicone tube, even though, that may have the same issues with age…
Anyone else have a complaint with air line currently available??? Or specific recommendations??? I would think, once you route lines, they should at least remain functional, until you want to change something
